On this week’s episode we are delving deep into the Columbia River in search of the legendary Colossal Claude, a mysterious sea serpent reported several times near Astoria. Here’s the thing about the Pacific Northwest. There are a lot of sea serpents so we are going to examine the history of sightings of Claude, some of his closest neighbors, what he could be, and possibly even a new friend.
